The Apple University Consortium is holding X World 2009, a 3 day hands-on training event specifically for Higher-Education Technical staff who support and manage Mac OS X installations.
X World 2009 will be held at the University of Technology Sydney (Broadway City Campus), from the 8 - 10 July 2009 and will feature a wide range of presenters from the University sector as well as hands-on workshops so attendees can learn how to configure and administer Mac OS X and implement it back in their own environments.
Who should attend?
X World is aimed specifically at technical staff who manage or administer Mac OS X installations in either a support, lab manager, network technician or systems administration role.
There are no prerequisites to attend X World other than a good working knowledge of Mac OS X (exposure to 10.5 preferred) and a basic understanding of UNIX concepts such as file structures, directories and basic networking. Different streams during the event will cater for both technical staff new to Mac OS X as well as UNIX gurus and Mac veterans.
